Recently, veteran Tamil actor-director Bharathiraja praised Dhanush’s Vaathi and called it a must-watch. A report in Indian Express read that in a recent press statement, the actor shared that Vaathi has a special place in his heart.

“In my film career, I’ve seen a lot of milestones. A few things have stunned me. One such film is Vaathi/Sir. I’m watching a lot of films, this is a special one, as I’m part of it. Films should be useful to people, more than entertainment. Vaathi stresses the importance of education,” Bharathiraja was quoted as saying.

 “I am just back from the movie, the way the audience enjoys the film is great. It’s one of the best films in recent times. Sir is a must-watch in theatres,” said Bharathiraja accrding to the press statement.
